[0:03]okay ald we spoke about the first sermon of and in this

[0:41]sermon we discussed several things first of all we discussed that in

[0:54]this sermon we discussed the creation Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created he

[1:01]is the Creator and this is the sermon of and then the

[1:07]creation of the Angels then we move on to the creation of

[1:12]Adam and the description the descriptions of Adam according to the sermon

[1:19]the beautiful sermon of so in this part is going to discuss

[1:25]how Adam our father was created and how the creation began [Music]

[1:38]so he says so once again for those who are familiar with

[2:14]the Arabic language you will see that this is the highest and

[2:22]the most eloquent of usage of words that is is using and

[2:27]this is why we see that there are many commentaries that are

[2:34]written just talking about the eloquence of the words of of course

[2:39]we're going to focus not as much on the eloquence because We're

[2:43]translating it into English we're focusing more on the message of but

[2:52]if the you know if in an atmosphere where there are more

[2:59]people who are there are people who are more familiar with the

[3:03]Arabic language they would appreciate this more so he's talking about the

[3:08]creation of Adam he says Allah collected from the hard the soft

[3:13]the sweet and the sour Earth Earth clay which he dripped in

[3:20]water till it got Pure and kneaded it with moisture till it

[3:25]became gluey from it he carved an image with curves joints Limbs

[3:33]and segments so basically the one of the Prime teachings that we

[3:37]have in the Quran that Allah subhanahu wa taala created Adam from

[3:42]the soil and several verses in the Quran talk about this message

[3:46]Allah subhana waa says in the Quran referring to Earth Allah says

[3:58]from it from the earth from the soil we created you and

[4:04]to it we will return you and from it we will resurrect

[4:06]you at another time so here so Allah he says Allah got

[4:19]from the hard and the soft and the sweet and the sour

[4:21]Earth there are different types of Earth you know you go to

[4:26]this land you see the Earth has this color here the Earth

[4:28]is hard here the Earth is this is one description that Allah

[4:35]subhanahu waa created people from different from different types some people have

[4:39]understood this this as a metaphor to saying that some people they're

[4:45]happy some people are soft some people are sweet some people are

[4:49]sour and bitter so the way people are is from the earth

[4:53]that they were taken from from the soil that they were created

[4:59]from that is how people are and we even have several several

[5:03]narrations in one of the most important books of Hadith by the

[5:10]name ofi where the imams they say that Allah subhana created and

[5:17]the who believe in they were created from the remain remaining soil

[5:23]that created that had to do with the and this is why

[5:30]they have with them and then there's others who their tur their

[5:34]soil that they were created from is from s a soil from

[5:39]the Hellfire a soil that is not very good that does not

[5:46]accept and and you see just as people some people they're kind

[5:50]they're loving they give back there are also there are also people

[5:53]who accept the truth who accept the H and there are people

[5:59]who reject the truth and reject the so this perhaps it could

[6:03]be a metaphor that he says he created he brought people from

[6:06]the soft and the sweet and the sour Earth similarly this could

[6:12]be a reference to the AK and the manners that people have

[6:14]and then he says he dripped in water till it got Pure

[6:20]and kneaded it with moisture till it became gluey until it became

[6:23]something like mud then from it he carved an image with curves

[6:31]with joints with limbs and with segments and then he says he

[6:51]solidified it till it dried up for a fixed time and a

[6:57]known duration so the Angels they saw that this creation was created

[7:00]out of clay and then it was left for a long time

[7:05]According to some Hadith 40 years they just saw clay like this

[7:11]then he blew into it then Allah subhanahu waala blew into it

[7:17]out of his Spirit whereupon it took the pattern of a human

[7:21]being so there was this clay that that was created out of

[7:26]soil out of this different types of soil then Allah subhanahu wa

[7:31]ta'ala blew into it from his Spirit whereupon it took the pattern

[7:36]of a human being with mind that governs him and this is

[7:39]the human being is composed of two parts you have the physical

[7:44]aspect this is the body this body that was created from the

[7:46]earth material and then once the body is buried once a person

[7:51]dies this body disintegrates and it goes back into Earth it becomes

[7:55]soil nothing remains from this body it goes back to the Earth

[7:58]but there's another menion that gives this body the human life and

[8:04]the happiness and the emotions that you see exhibited within human being

[8:08]and that is the soul the soul is something completely different from

[8:13]the body and this is why when a person dies the soul

[8:18]separates from the body the soul leaves the body when a person

[8:21]dies the body will remain it will disintegrate as long as the

[8:25]soul is in the body the body does not disintegrate it remains

[8:28]alive it gives it that life it's on but as soon as

[8:32]the soul departs from the body this body goes back to the

[8:36]Earth you leave the body out for a few months a few

[8:38]years and you will see that the body will go disintegrate and

[8:41]it will go back into the Earth you go and you see

[8:43]several years later you will see that there's soil nothing is remaining

[8:49]from this person so he says then he blew into it out

[8:52]of his Spirit whereupon it took the pattern of a human being

[8:58]with mind that governs him so so a a a mind that

[9:10]governs the body so he says with a mind that governs him

[9:24]intelligence which he makes use of Limbs that serve him organs that

[9:31]change his position sagacity that differentiates between truth and untruth tastes and

[9:37]smells colors and spe species so what is it that has given

[9:44]the human being the soul and the livelihood where you're able to

[9:48]govern it with intelligence limbs that are able to move organs that

[9:52]change positions being able to distinguish between right and wrong taste and

[9:58]smell and color and species the this is the soul this is

[10:03]the the part the r that Allah subhana wa TAA has given

[10:05]the human being so then he says he's a mixture of Clays

[10:10]of different color cohesive material Divergent contradictories and different properties like heat

[10:21]cold softness and hardness grief and joy so he says that the

[10:25]human being comes in many you know colors many shapes many emot

[10:29]emotions this human being there are millions of emotions to describe the

[10:34]human being sometimes you're happy sometimes you're sad sometimes you're depressed sometimes

[10:39]you're annoyed these are all feelings that Allah subhana wa tala has

[10:43]given so he's describing it he is a mixture of mixture of

[10:48]Clays of different colors cohesive materials Divergent contradictories and different properties like

[10:54]heat cold softness hardness grief and joy all of that is placed

[10:59]in the human being and this is by itself this this is

[11:03]proof that Allah subhana wa tala is the creator because if we

[11:07]just came into existence like robots you wouldn't find people having different

[11:12]emotions different colors you don't find two people that are the same

[11:15]every individual is unique in their own way out of the billions

[11:21]and billions of people Everyone is unique in their own way so

[11:27]this is how is describing the creat of Adam who is the

[11:32]father and the first of the human beings the first of the

[11:39]homo sapiens our type of humans now here of course at the

[11:42]time of at the time that the Quran was revealed this topic

[11:47]did not emerge the topic of evolution finding fossils finding bones of

[11:55]creatures that looked like human beings but they they were they they

[12:00]they have discovered that these bones and these fossils existed for millions

[12:05]of years whereas we you know with our estimates Adam Adam the

[12:13]one that the Quran talks about was probably around 12,000 years ago

[12:17]12 13,000 years ago not more than that not in the millions

[12:19]of years this human race the homo sapiens we have been according

[12:26]to the quranic teaching and according to according to what even the

[12:31]biblical biblical teachings and others we have been here for probably around

[12:37]12,000 13,000 years so now what do you do with these fossils

[12:39]that we have found of these neanderthals and these creation that look

[12:45]similar to the human being but they're not the human being and

[12:51]they were here they were on Earth for millions of years 12

[12:55]M million years ago 50 million years ago so here we have

[13:00]a theory that is taught in the schools today that people always

[13:02]talk about and this is the theory of evolution darwinian Evolution and

[13:07]then we have creationism where we believe our religion tells us it

[13:13]was God who created Adam do these bump heads do these go

[13:16]hand inand with one another can we be individuals who believe in

[13:24]science and believe in the evolution and adaptation and at the same

[13:30]time accept the Quran my answer is yes we can the Islamic

[13:33]perspective does not contradict science it does not contradict reason it does

[13:37]not contradict the the um you know scientific facts Islam goes hand

[13:47]inand with knowledge with science and it does not contradict it we

[13:52]just need to you know take a pause we need to see

[13:57]where is what does science exactly say where is the the part

[14:01]and where's the factual part and we need to also understand what

[14:03]does the Quran actually say the Quran has many you know different

[14:09]types of tap different methods approaches of understanding what does the Quran

[14:12]actually say and what have the imams of the this is very

[14:18]important the of the Quran needs to go back to the so

[14:23]first of all Islam is pro-science and facts but we need to

[14:28]keep in mind that whatever science has discovered today is that 100%

[14:33]or whatever science is talking about today and scientists and biology class

[14:39]whatever they're telling you today is that 100% proven or not there

[14:42]are certain things that are proven there are certain things that are

[14:45]factual for example finding a fossil that was 12 million or 20

[14:53]million years ago that is proven you can't come and you know

[14:55]you can't come and argue that maybe a couple million years here

[15:00]and there but you can't come and say that this fossil was

[15:03]from 12,000 12,000 years ago it's much older than that this is

[15:07]one thing but then the problem is some people they come and

[15:13]they have a little bit of facts using science and they come

[15:16]and they build upon that a theory that is not yet proven

[15:20]and this is why it's called the theory of evolution and and

[15:25]then similarly this is one side the scientist needs to you know

[15:29]from that Dimension you need to kind of hold on and try

[15:32]to see where the truth is and where is it that we're

[15:37]just talking theories and the other side is Islamic knowledge just because

[15:40]I am not familiar with something or something that I don't know

[15:45]about doesn't mean that it necessarily did not exist for example we

[15:49]have several proofs from the Quran and Hadith from the that tell

[15:56]us that before our Adam Adam Our Father meaning 12,000 years ago

[16:00]the Adam that's described in the Quran the Adam that described in

[16:07]this verse in in this in the sermon before this Adam there

[16:10]were a million Adams meaning there were millions of generations there were

[16:15]groups of people Nations and people that lived and their race died

[16:22]and then another group PE of people came and the race died

[16:25]and another group of people and we are at the end the

[16:29]human being Accord according to the Hadith we are at the end

[16:32]where the day of judgment will come and that will be the

[16:38]end of life so here in according to the of this verse

[16:41]Surah 6 verse 133 and your lord is the free of need

[17:00]the possessor of Mercy if he Wills he can do away with

[17:07]you and give succession after you to whoever he Wills just as

[17:11]he produced you from the descendants of another people so here from

[17:18]this he says he could bring someone else after you just as

[17:23]you were the descendants of another group of people here this could

[17:26]be understood that we are the descendants of our parents and their

[17:30]grandparents and their grandparents others they understand it that no this is

[17:34]talking about a whole different race a whole different type of creation

[17:40]like you have the homo sapiens and then you have the Neanderthals

[17:43]and you have these different types of creation that existed also the

[17:50]regarding this verse chapter 50 verse 15 where Allah says did we

[18:03]fell in the first creation but they are in confusion over a

[18:07]new creation in the of this the fifth IM of he says

[18:32]he says yes what the companion was asking the IM he tells

[18:38]him is there another creation that that Allah subhana tala is saying

[18:43]there's another creation have have there been previous Creations he says yes

[18:56]excuse me Allah subh created 1,000 1,000 this means a million 1,000

[19:05]1,000 universes elf Adam and 1,000 1,000 meaning one million Adams Adam

[19:15]as meaning the father of creation and you are at the end

[19:27]you are the last of those of those worlds out of those

[19:31]Adam out of those who look like Adam and Adam meaning the

[19:36]one who's from the earth Adam so so others they were also

[19:40]created but we are the children of Adam and we are from

[19:46]the last of the creation so here according to the of imak

[19:50]there could be no problem with saying that there were neanderthals before

[19:53]and there were others because if you look at it if you

[19:58]look at the biblical perspective they say no first there was nothing

[20:01]and then all God created the heavens and the and the earth

[20:04]and the sky and it took him six days and then he

[20:07]got tired on the seventh day which of course we talked about

[20:09]that we said we don't agree with that God does not get

[20:14]tired out of creation and then they say that they say that

[20:18]um that Adam was the first Our Father Adam he was the

[20:24]first of the creation and nothing else existed Islam the Islamic perspective

[20:28]does not say that Islam perspective says there's nothing wrong with accepting

[20:35]that there were there were creation before Adam so here there's a

[20:40]problem did we evolve from the Neanderthals because they were if there

[20:45]were creation before Adam then we evolved and we kept evolving and

[20:48]evolving and evolving until the human be being the human race and

[20:53]this is what the theory of evolution says it says you slowly

[20:55]started evolving until the human being evolved into what the human being

[20:58]being is right now so what do we say about Adam being

[21:03]created Adam the one who's mentioned in the Quran being created by

[21:06]Allah subhana wa tala and God created him and gave him from

[21:12]the soul and the angels prostrating to Adam here I've heard some

[21:18]Scholars one some of the one of the grand Scholars a he's

[21:21]a very big scholar in the in the realm of Science and

[21:25]in the realm of Islamic Studies his reasoning and the scholar was

[21:35]say alab who was a big scholar I'm sure many of you

[21:38]have heard his heard of him I asked him this question he

[21:42]said there's a possibility he said there's a possibility that Adam the

[21:47]one who was created by Allah subhah wa ta'ala and just like

[21:51]all of them were created by Allah but Adam the one who

[21:55]the Quran talks about that Allah created him and told the angels

[21:59]to prostrate to him Adam's creation came in the middle while there

[22:05]were other creations before him however there was a leap there was

[22:10]a leap into the human race and that was the creation of

[22:17]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala just as Jesus was created how was Jesus

[22:20]created Jesus did not have a father but Jesus was created while

[22:27]there were humans before him that looked like him but but Allah

[22:31]subhana wa tala created and then the race continues so this could

[22:35]be a possibility that let Evolution take place at the same time

[22:38]but in the middle or as the evolution process was was going

[22:44]on Allah placed Adam and Adam was created in the complete form

[22:47]because we have the only reason why we believe this is because

[22:51]the Quran tells us the Quran tells us that Allah created Adam

[22:57]and Allah brought Adam from the heavens down to the Earth so

[23:00]we don't negate the fact that there were other creation before Adam

[23:04]there were every million of every millions of years they would evolve

[23:09]but this last Adam that the Quran is talking about this Adam

[23:13]was brought in by Allah subhana just as Jesus was created through

[23:18]a process that was different but he was also a human being

[23:24]just like all of the other human beings so this is regarding

[23:27]the creation of Adam now Allah subhana wa T created Adam and

[23:33]then continues to talk about how Allah ordered the angels to do

[23:44]to Adam to prostrate to Adam he says then Allah asked the

[24:12]angels to fulfill his promise with them and to accomplish the pledge

[24:16]of his injunction to them by acknowledging him through prostration to him

[24:23]and submission to his honored position so Allah subhah wa tala has

[24:29]a covenant with the Angels the Angels do not disobey Allah subhana

[24:32]wa tala and they do anything Allah subhana wa tala orders them

[24:36]to do therefore Allah tells the angels to prostrate to Adam so

[24:43]he tells them prostrate to Adam Allah orders the Angels do suud

[24:51]to Adam so they prostrated except so why did he not so

[25:24]Allah ordered the angels to do sujud to Adam they all did

[25:30]sujud except Shan then he says why because out of self self-importance

[25:37]withheld him and vice overcame him so that he took pride in

[25:42]his own Creation With Fire he said I am created out of

[25:48]fire and Adam is created out of soil I am better fire

[25:54]is better than soil so therefore he refused to do suud to

[25:57]Adam and he refused to obey Allah subhana so and he says

[26:04]self-importance uh withheld him and vice overcame him so that he took

[26:09]pride in his own Creation with fire and treated contemptuously the creation

[26:13]of clay he looked down and this was the first sin the

[26:19]first sin in the creation was the where someone was arrogant and

[26:23]full of Pride where he saw himself better than anyone else so

[26:31]Allah allowed him time in order to let him fully deserve his

[26:34]wrath so here why did Allah subhah wa tala keep Adam why

[26:41]did Allah not punish Adam excuse me why did Allah keep and

[26:44]not punish him right away he says he says the reasons he

[26:50]says so Allah allowed him time in order to let him fully

[26:52]deserve his wrath because the wrath of Allah doesn't come quick Allah

[27:00]will give time for someone to change path to change their lifestyle

[27:05]but then if they don't then the full wrath will come so

[27:11]he gave him time and to complete man's test the second reason

[27:14]is because the human being is tested so Allah keeps Satan so

[27:22]that we are tested through Satan and to fulfill the promise he

[27:25]had made to Satan thus he said very you have been allowed

[27:31]time till the known day Allah subhana wa ta'ala allowed Satan to

[27:41]continue so we will talk about this we will go into this

[27:46]in more detail first of all why did Allah subhah wa taala

[27:48]order the angels to do suud to Adam aren't we supposed to

[27:54]do suud only to Allah subhana wa tala isn't the whole message

[27:57]of Islam and the whole message of all of the prophets is

[28:02]that we don't do sh and we worship The One and Only

[28:04]God so here Scholars have given different uh reasonings as to why

[28:14]Allah ordered the angels and amongst them who was not an angel

[28:18]According to some opinions he was an angel that turned against the

[28:22]angels and according to another opinion was that he was he was

[28:28]a Jin created from fire a different type of creation but he

[28:34]was such a worshipper that he was amongst the Angels he was

[28:38]with the angels in that high rank even he says in one

[28:43]of his SAS it lasted over 6,000 years he was a worshipper

[28:46]was not a person who was always against God it was this

[28:51]mistake that brought him away from Allah it was his arrogance and

[28:54]his pride and this is why arrogance and Pride is very dangerous

[28:57]for a person to have even if you're a person who prays

[29:02]and fasts and you're a very good believer so one of the

[29:05]reasonings Scholars say is that it was a symbol of respect and

[29:11]not meant to be worshiping Adam it was your respecting the creation

[29:16]of Allah subhanahu waala Abu Bas one of the companions of Imad

[29:22]he says he says he says did the Angels do actual by

[29:36]placing their forehead on the earth the IM he says it was

[29:45]to honor the creation of Allah subhah wa tala for the sake

[29:52]of honoring the creation of Allah subhana T and Adam was the

[29:54]most complete and as we mentioned the Hadith that there were elf

[29:57]Adam there was 1,000 1,000 Adams and 1,000 1,000 creation and Adam

[30:05]our Adam the Adam that as mentioned in the Quran is the

[30:08]last one and therefore the most complete the most complete due to

[30:12]the intellect the most complete due to free choice the most complete

[30:16]due to Muhammad Muhammad as we will point out we have Hadith

[30:20]that Adam the Angels were ordered to do suud to him because

[30:27]in the loins of Adam was and and therefore becoming the honored

[30:35]and the most honored of the creation Allah says in the Quran

[30:40]we have honored and dignified the children of Adam one of the

[30:47]most important reasons why the human race has been dignified is because

[30:53]and are in amongst this race so opinion says that the suud

[31:02]was in fact to God to Allah subhana wa tala and Adam

[31:05]was the just like the Kaa today when we pray towards the

[31:09]Kaa we're not doing suud to the Kaa we're not worshiping The

[31:12]Rock and the stone of the Kaa we're worshiping Allah subhana tala

[31:19]and the Kaa is the is the direction of the prayer so

[31:22]if you want to reach Allah you have to reach Allah through

[31:27]doing suud and honoring the creation of Allah subhah wa tala a

[31:33]third opinion says that the prostration the suud was to Adam but

[31:37]it is by the order of Allah subhah wa tala and that's

[31:41]a form of worship if God tells you to do to do

[31:45]suud to Adam you do to Adam because when you're you're not

[31:49]doing it by following what Adam is telling you to do you're

[31:54]doing it by following what Allah subhana tala and that is what

[31:57]worship is worship by definition is obeying the orders and commands of

[32:01]Allah subhana tala when you obey the command of Allah even if

[32:06]it's something that you're reason and your logic sees that it doesn't

[32:09]make sense but you're doing it and we do a lot of

[32:13]these for example when we go to Haj we go to Haj

[32:14]we have to circumambulate we have to walk around the Kaa seven

[32:19]times and then we have to go and run between two mountains

[32:21]sa and seven times some people they're like this doesn't make sense

[32:27]why do I have to do this because God told us to

[32:29]because Allah subhana wa tala orderers to and that is the that

[32:36]is worship in itself whatever God tells us to do we have

[32:38]to do a lot of people they have the habit of asking

[32:43]why this and why that this is a lower level of Faith

[32:45]once you reach the highest levels of Faith you submit to whatever

[32:49]God has told you to do if Allah tells you to do

[32:51]this you go and you do it so IM he says he

[33:02]describes the scene where he tells Allah oh Allah don't you know

[33:08]give me an excuse so that I don't have to do sujud

[33:10]to Adam and I will worship you in a way that not

[33:25]even the closest of the angels have worshiped you in that way

[33:30]meaning and mik and and is those close Angels they have not

[33:38]worshiped you in that way so he wants to strike a deal

[33:40]with God he wants to make a transaction with Allah he says

[33:45]just excuse me from doing to Adam and I will worship you

[33:49]in a way that none of the angels have worshiped you not

[33:54]even an angel and not even a prophet that was sent as

[34:01]a messenger by Allah so then Allah replied to him Allah tells

[34:07]him I don't need your worship I don't need your then Allah

[34:19]tells him I don't need your worship what you are thinking as

[34:23]a as a type of worship and you come and you worship

[34:24]me in that way I want to be worshiped the way I

[34:29]want want to be worshiped not the way you want to worship

[34:33]but he did not he he refused he kept refusing to do

[34:41]suud to Adam sometimes we have transactions with God the way it

[34:46]believed us we say oh Allah let me not do this let

[34:49]me not pray let me not fast let me not go to

[34:53]Hajj let me not wear hijab let me not do this but

[34:54]then I will go and I will do something else that's not

[34:57]how religion works religion works when we abide by the laws of

[35:01]Allah subhana T and this is how laws of this life work

[35:05]if you're applying for a university you're applying for a job and

[35:08]they tell you we need X Y and Z in your resume

[35:11]we need this and you come and you bring them ABC you

[35:15]bring them something else that they didn't ask for that's not what

[35:19]they're asking for some people they do that one year they go

[35:22]and they disobey Allah then the next year they come and they

[35:27]want to come and fix things that's not how it Works Allah

[35:30]says worship me the way I want to be worshiped I dictate

[35:35]the way I want to be worshiped not you in another a

[35:46]non-believer z means someone who rejects God ask IM sad he tells

[35:53]him he tells him is it possible that someone does is it

[35:59]right for someone to do suud to anyone other than God then

[36:05]IM he says no suud can't be done other than to Allah

[36:07]subhana then that non-believer he tells him then how did God order

[36:18]the angels to do sud to Adam he says he says in

[36:38]fact the suud was to God because it was by the order

[36:43]of Allah subhah wa ta'ala so his prostration was actually a prostration

[36:47]to Allah subhana tala because it was by the order of Allah

[36:50]so this is why Allah subhah wa ta'ala ordered ordered uh the

[37:00]Ang and amongst them at that time to do to Adam now

[37:03]why did God allow Satan to carry on if Satan is bad

[37:11]if he's evil why did God let him carry on so that

[37:16]he fools us and he tricks us and we and we suffer

[37:20]as a result of Satan continues to live if he's bad if

[37:23]he's evil shouldn't God you know take him away here some of

[37:28]this he answers in in this at the end he he answers

[37:32]some of this he [Music] says some of them are answered by

[37:49]others they're answered by um Scholars here and there so among some

[37:52]of the reasons why Allah subhah wa taala allowed Satan to continue

[37:56]living is the just of Allah subhana tala Allah is Allah is

[38:03]just at the end of the day God just because disobeyed him

[38:07]once had worshiped Allah subhah wa tala had worshiped so Allah is

[38:16]not going to give Heaven and the but Allah will allow to

[38:20]carry on in this short temporal life even though this life in

[38:26]our eyes it's probably gone for Millions billions of years but for

[38:32]Allah subhana wa tala all of this is nothing compared to Eternity

[38:36]the so Allah subhah tala says you live you continue living in

[38:41]this short life that will come to an end and you will

[38:46]meet your fate and the Eternal afterlife which is for eternity which

[38:50]is Everlasting that is where you will face your punishment and this

[38:56]is Justice from Allah because Satan used to work worship Allah subhana

[39:00]tal Satan used to obey God and he was one of the

[39:01]closest of worshippers so therefore Allah subhana has to be just with

[39:08]him and compensate him just as Allah compensates some of the kufar

[39:12]in this life we sometimes we see some of those people who

[39:14]are horrible people but they're living comfortably and they enjoy the blessings

[39:19]of this dun and they have same things so sometimes some of

[39:22]the they say why is it that God allows them to continue

[39:27]living Allah subana allows them to continue living perhaps because they did

[39:32]some good in this life we have a Hadith it says that

[39:36]Pharaoh during the time of MSA he used to because he used

[39:44]to regard himself as God so he used to feed people every

[39:47]day every day he used to slaughter hundreds of sheep he used

[39:54]to slaughter every day 365 sheep because he used to regard himself

[39:59]as God so he says I have to feed my people so

[40:03]then his ministers here and there they came and they told him

[40:08]why are you feeding these people they don't need to be fed

[40:10]so he said what am I supposed to do just stop feeding

[40:14]them they're going to rebel against me he tells him no every

[40:17]day Slaughter one less sheep so you were slaughtering 365 then now

[40:24]Slaughter 364 the next day 363 then 36 2 continue going lower

[40:32]and lower the Hadith says that by the time reached the last

[40:36]day where he did not slaughter a single sheep to feed people

[40:40]that was the day Allah subhana taala punished him and that was

[40:45]the day he died because that time before he was feeding people

[40:48]he was doing some good maybe some people were some hungry people

[40:53]some empty stomachs were being fed as a result of remaining alive

[41:01]once he stopped then there was the justice of Allah had already

[41:03]been met Allah kept them alive as long as he was doing

[41:08]this good once that good stopped then he died and he left

[41:10]this life so this is one reason Allah subhah wa ta'ala is

[41:16]Allah is just another very important reason is the test of Allah

[41:21]he will meet his his consequences but Allah subhana wa tala created

[41:28]us so that we are tested Allah wants to test us so

[41:30]if Allah subhana wa T wants to test us how is Allah

[41:33]going to test us he's going to tast test us with struggles

[41:35]here and there and by the way it's not always Shan that's

[41:41]fooling us sometimes it's our own desires it's not Sometimes some people

[41:48]they do and they say they always blame it on Shan no

[41:53]sometimes you're worse than Shan not you of course sometimes people we

[42:00]do things that are worse thananan has nothing to do with it

[42:06]so so um the purpose is Allah subhah wa tala wants to

[42:09]test us and Allah subhah wa tala says in Allah created life

[42:28]and death or death and life to test you who out of

[42:33]you has better Deeds so we are tested in this life and

[42:36]this is one of the philosophy of creation so that we are

[42:41]tested so this is why Allah subhana tala kept around because Allah

[42:45]tests us with one another sometimes I'm tested through my parents I'm

[42:50]tested through my children I'm tested with my neighbor I'm tested with

[42:53]my family member every single one of us is tested in one

[42:57]way or another so when sometimes when you're going through a difficulty

[43:01]in life don't just immediately come and say you know what this

[43:04]is something I'm going to quit and I don't want this no

[43:08]perhaps this is the way that God is testing so we have

[43:13]to take every test that we have in life very seriously the

[43:17]third reason is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala favored Adam because he was

[43:23]complete so God kept Satan to prove to Adam that at the

[43:28]end righteousness will prevail why does Allah sub why did Allah keep

[43:32]Satan Satan rejected Adam Satan refused to do to Adam Satan looked

[43:39]down at Adam I am better than him Allah subhah wa ta'ala

[43:46]tells him okay you wait and you will see who's better the

[43:51]one who has the intellect the one who has choice and the

[43:54]one who makes the right choices that is the better person and

[43:59]of course this here it also has to do with the and

[44:00]the of Muhammad Muhammad that was in the loins of Adam which

[44:07]is the greatest of creation and therefore that is why Allah subhanahu

[44:11]wa taala allowed Satan to remain so that he sees the consequences

[44:16]and we also have a concept inshallah maybe another time or maybe

[44:21]we could find it in the words of the concept of the

[44:26]the return where before the day of judgment Allah will bring some

[44:30]of the criminals some of the criminals some of the bad people

[44:34]who did horrible things Allah will bring them back okay see now

[44:39]the now the just state has been established right now we're living

[44:50]in a time where we say there's no justice there's no justice

[44:53]it's all suffering no the promise of Allah subhana wa tala says

[44:57]in the Quran that at the End of Time justice will prevail

[45:02]so Allah will keep some of the evil people among them among

[45:05]them some of the bad people who stood against the prophets and

[45:10]The Messengers and the imams they will come back so that Allah

[45:13]shows them see not not only in the in the they will

[45:18]see their consequences and you will see your consequences of your actions

[45:22]but even in this life righteousness will prevail so these are some

[45:26]of the reasons why Allah subhana wa ta'ala kept Adam now Adam

[45:30]is in Paradise So Adam was created the Angels do suud refuses

[45:37]to do sujud Allah K kicks out of his mercy and El

[45:43]makes a vow that he will bring as many people as he

[45:46]can from the children of Adam away from Allah subhana tala Allah

[45:51]tells him you do what you want and whoever follows you then

[45:53]they will be with you in the and whoever follows the logic

[45:57]and the truth and The Messengers and the wisdom that we have

[46:01]sent and the books then those people will be saved so he

[46:42]says thereafter Allah inhabited Adam peace be upon him in a house

[46:51]where he made his life Pleasant here describes it as so in

[46:58]a pleasant life in a place that was very comfortable and his

[47:02]stay his stay safe he was very safe it wasn't like this

[47:05]life where there are dangers and there's so much stress and he

[47:09]cautioned him of el and his enmity Allah tells him there's you

[47:14]have one enemy and that's El and he's going to try to

[47:18]fool you he's going to try to bring you away from Allah

[47:21]subhah wa ta'ala then his enemy El envied his abiding in paradise

[47:26]and his contact with The Virtuous so he changed his conviction into

[47:33]wavering and determination into weakness he thus converted his happiness into fear

[47:40]and his Prestige into shame El came and destroyed the life of

[47:45]Adam Why by telling him eat from the tree he made him

[47:49]eat from the tree and and Allah subhanahu wa tala as a

[47:56]result of eating from the tree some people According to some of

[47:59]our Hadith it was meaning wheat a wheat tree others they say

[48:04]it was a fruit different different we have different narrations regarding this

[48:10]the Quran does not talk about this but the important point is

[48:13]that there was a tree that he was not supposed to eat

[48:17]from but he went and he ate from because fooled him came

[48:20]and tells him eat from that tree of course and Shan are

[48:26]the same Shan is referred to anyone who does anyone who does

[48:30]bad they call him Shan sometimes we call our kids Shan because

[48:32]they do if they're naughty so is the name is the name

[48:43]of the that Jin who refused to do suud to Adam so

[48:47]Allah subhana tala tells him sometimes the Quran uses sometimes the word

[48:56]is used sometimes is used Allah tells him this is the Quran

[49:04]these are not the words of this is in the Quran Allah

[49:06]tells him oh Adam live with your wife with your partner in

[49:22]Paradise in this comfortable place eat from any everything only refrain from

[49:31]this one tree you will be amongst the wrongdoers he came and

[49:56]he fooled them he began to whisper in their ears and their

[49:59]hearts but Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that

[50:06]which was concealed from them of their private part so he removed

[50:10]that protection that they had he said your Lord did not forbid

[50:13]you the tree except that you become Angels or become of the

[50:19]Immortals so he tells them if your lord does not want you

[50:21]to eat from the street because if you do you'll become immortal

[50:26]and you will become me angel or Immortal so they first rejected

[50:35]they said no Allah ordered us here he did something where Adam

[50:43]Adam was the first creation Adam hasn't seen deceit Adam hasn't seen

[50:49]you know anyone people fooling one another so here Allah says so

[50:56]he swore by Allah to them indeed I am to you from

[51:03]among the sincere advisers Adam is never seen anyone SW swear by

[51:07]the name of God and lie so he got fooled and this

[51:12]is the human nature we get fooled sometimes sometimes it's not out

[51:16]of ill intent and Adam he did not have ill intent Adam

[51:21]got fooled Adam got tricked and the reason why he got tricked

[51:24]was because Satan swore by Allah subhana tala he swore to them

[51:35]Adam never thought that anyone is going to swear in the name

[51:38]of Allah and lie Allah subhana tells them so he made them

[52:13]fall through deception so they ate from the tree and when they

[52:19]tasted of the tree their private parts be became apparent to them

[52:22]so apparently in that place that they were they were clothed they

[52:26]were covered but as a result of eating and disobeying Allah they

[52:32]became vulnerable vulnerable to the heat to the cold because in the

[52:35]sermon says they were protected and their private parts began to show

[52:42]and they began to cover themselves with the leaves of paradise and

[52:49]their lord called to them did I not forbid you from that

[52:51]tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy

[52:56]so this is how uh Adam got tricked now did Adam commit

[52:59]a sin when he ate from the tree we believe that the

[53:04]prophets of Allah do not commit sins because they're sent to guide

[53:07]people how can Allah subhana tala send someone who's supposed to guide

[53:13]us and this person makes mistakes yes Scholars say it could be

[53:19]maybe there's good and better he did not do the better it

[53:22]could be it could be a meaning that the order of not

[53:29]not eating from the tree was not a legal order meaning that

[53:32]you it's Haram for you to eat from the tree it's like

[53:36]when the doctor tells you don't smoke if you smoke you're going

[53:38]to have bad Health you tell the doctor are you going to

[53:40]punish me if I smoke doctor says no I don't care do

[53:44]whatever you want to do I'm telling you what's better for you

[53:48]if you want to remain healthy don't eat from the tree don't

[53:52]don't smoke don't smoke from the tree so as what a lot

[53:57]of people are doing these these days so um here Allah subhana

[54:01]waa tells Adam don't eat from the tree if you want to

[54:06]remain in the safe place but if you don't want to remain

[54:08]in the safe place then you eat from the tree you will

[54:13]go down to earth so it wasn't a legal ruling and another

[54:16]opinion says that they were not even in the in the paradise

[54:20]were they in the paradise of this D or in the the

[54:25]Eternal Paradise because how could make it in that paradise that paradise

[54:29]close to Allah subhana tala and was already kicked out so they

[54:33]say that the place where Adam was it was not on Earth

[54:37]and it was not in that paradise that is the Eternal Paradise

[54:40]it was somewhere in between where there were no orders of Allah

[54:44]subhana wa tala Adam was not ordered to start praying and fasting

[54:49]and and doing all of the legal obligations he was not in

[54:52]this realm in the dun as of yet after he ate from

[54:57]the he came down to this and we mentioned regarding Evolution where

[55:01]it's okay to believe that there were neanderthals and there were others

[55:07]but Allah subhana T placed Adam at that point where we believe

[55:11]around 12,000 years ago that's when Adam came now inshallah in the

[55:15]next uh the next session next week we will continue then Allah

[55:24]subhana tala taught Adam certain words words that it was through those

[55:29]words Adam repented to Allah subhana wa tala what were those words

[55:33]what did Adam say that Allah subhah wa ta'ala forgave him as

[55:40]a result of those words inshallah we will continue this in the

[55:44]next week next session that we have we're going to talk about

[55:48]how Allah accepted the Toba of Adam and what did Adam say

[55:54]what do the Sunni and Sh say and then we will move

[55:58]on to talk about the Haj and the sending of the prophets

[56:03]and The Messengers I'll give you one hint he did in Muhammad

[56:07]Muhammad this is according to one of our uh some of our

[56:10]Hadith accepted by Sunni and Shia Scholars that one of the things

[56:16]that he did was he asked Allah by the love and the

[56:18]honor and position of Muhammad muham muham
